Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary human gingival fibroblasts (HGF-1) were previously established in the lab (IRB # 911778-10) and purchased from ATCC (CRL-2014). Cells were cultivated in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 100 UI/mL penicillin/streptomycin. HGF were cultured in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C. The growth media was replaced every 2-3 days. Experiments were performed using cells between the 4th and 8th passages, at approximately 80% confluence detailed in figure legends. The fibroblast phenotype was confirmed by positive staining for vimentin and FSP1. Viable cells were automatically counted using a cell counter and Trypan Blue staining and seeded in uniformity of cell distribution in OptiMEM medium the day before each experiment. For cell treatments, the following reagents were used: 1ng/mL human recombinant IL-1β (201LB005, R&D systems); 100μM Adenosine (A4036-5G, MilliporeSigma); 30μM EHNA (E114-25MG, MilliporeSigma), 1μM FCCP (S8276, Selleck Chemicals LLC) and 10μM SR-18292 (HY-101491, MedChem Express). Pre-treatment with drugs was performed 1 hour prior to the adenosine or EHNA+adenosine stimulation. EHNA was added 5min prior to adenosine. Adenosine was added 5 min prior to IL-1β and cells were incubated for the time points indicated in each figure legend.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NPMSCs were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 2 × 103 cells per well and incubated in complete medium overnight at 37 °C with 5% CO2. Then, NPMSCs were treated with different concentrations ((0-80 μM, 0-48 h) of UA (MedChem Express, China, catalog No. 1143-70-0). After that, 10% cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) (Dojindo, Japan, catalog No. CK04) was added to each well at different time points, and the optical density (OD) value was read after 1 h of incubation at 480 nm by a microplate reader (Bio-Rad, United States). Cell viability was calculated as follows: Cell viability (of control) = [(Ae-Ab)/(Ac-Ab)]. Ae, Ab, and Ac represent the OD value of the treatment, blank and control groups, respectively. Similarly, to further determine whether UA works through the silent information regulator of transcription 1/PPAR gamma coactivator-1α (SIRT1/PGC-1α) pathway, different concentrations (0-160 μM, 0-36 h) of the PGC-1α inhibitor SR-18292 (MedChem Express, China, catalog No. HY-101491) were cocultured with NPMSCs.
NPMSCs were divided into four groups in the following examinations: (1) Control group; (2) H2O2 group (80 μM H2O2); (3) H2O2 + UA group (80 μM H2O2 + 20 μM UA); and (4) H2O2 + UA + SR-18292 group (80 μM H2O2 + 20 μM UA + 20 μM SR-18292).

Ototoxicity models were established in HEI-OC1 cells and cochlear explants by treatment for 12 h with 500 μM gentamicin (Meilun Biotechnology, Dalian, China). To evaluate the effects of DHM, samples were pretreated with 1 mM DHM (Meilun Biotechnology) for 24 h before adding gentamicin. To evaluate the role(s) of PGC-1α and SIRT3 in the protective effect of DHM against gentamicin-induced ototoxicity, samples were pretreated with the PGC-1α and SIRT3 inhibitors SR-18292 (20 μM; MedChemExpress, Princeton, NJ, United States) and 3-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl) pyridine (3-TYP, 50 μM; Absin Biotechnology), respectively, for 2 h before the addition of DHM and exposure to gentamicin.

Isolation and Culture of Mouse Cardiac Endothelial Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse CEC were isolated with a modified protocol based on an online resource (http://vrd.bwh.harvard.edu/) and a publication [39 (link)]. Briefly, mouse hearts were dissected and minced into small pieces. After the digestion of the heart using Collagenase I (Worthington), cells were washed and incubated with Dynabeads conjugated with anti-CD31 antibody (Thermo Fisher). The beads with CEC were washed several times and cultured in a mouse endothelial culture medium (Cell Biologics). When confluent, cells were purified with Dynabeads conjugated with anti-Mouse CD102 (ICAM2) antibody. Each animal was used separate isolations, and cells less than passage 6 were used for the experiments.
For loss of function PGC-1α studies, we treated miR-21+/+ or miR-21−/− mouse CEC with either vehicle or a PGC-1α inhibitor SR-18292 (SR, MedChemExpress) at 20 μM for 72 h. SR-18292 induces PGC-1α acetylation [59 (link)]. Conversely, for the gain of function PGC-1α studies, we overexpressed PGC-1α in WT CEC using adenoviral Ad-PGC-1α and control Ad-GFP (generously provided by Dr. Pere Puigserver from Harvard Medical School) [65 (link)]. CEC were transduced with adenovirus at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 50 and treated with high glucose (25.5 mM) for 72 h.

TL02-59 was dissolved in 90% saline, 5% solution HS-15, and 5% N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. TL02-59 (at 1 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, or 15 mg/kg) and vehicle were administrated once daily for 3 days via the tail vein at 1 h after CLP. The CLP mice were injected i.p. with ZLN005 or SR-18292 at 12 mg/kg or 45 mg/kg after TL02-59 treatment. In the HT22 cells, TL02-59 (1 μM) was administered to cells for 24 h in the presence or absence of LPS (1 μg/mL). To determine whether (R) EX-527 or SRT 1720 treatment could reverse the protective effects of TL02-59, HT22 cells were incubated with (R) EX-527 (10 μM) or SRT 1720 (1 μM) for 24 h in the presence of LPS and TL02-59. To determine whether ZLN005 or SR 18292 treatment could reverse the protective effects of TL02-59, HT22 cells were incubated with ZLN005 (2 μM) or SR 18292 (2.5 μM) for 24 h in the presence of LPS and TL02-59.

Mouse pancreatic β-cell line MIN6 (Keygen Biotech, Nanjing, China) cells were cultured in RPMI1640 medium (Gibco) accompanied with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. Cells were passaged every three days. Culture media was changed every 24 h.
For intracellular signaling studies, MIN6 cells were starved for 12 h followed by incubation with or without ∆nFGF1 (50 ng/mL) for 1 h. Cells were then exposed to media containing normal glucose (NG, 11.1 mM) as a control or high glucose (HG, 33 mM)+palmitic acid (PA, 0.5 mM) for 24 h and then lysed to detect protein expression by Western blot. For inhibitor experiments, MIN6 cells were also starved for 12 h and treated with AMPK inhibitor Compound C (10 μM, Selleck Chemicals, S7306) or SIRT1 inhibitor EX-527 (10 μM, MedChemExpress, HY-15452) or PGC-1α inhibitor SR-18292 (10 μM, MedChemExpress, HY-101491) for 1 h and then incubated in NG or HG+PA or HG+PA+∆nFGF1 for 24 h and lysed to detect protein expression by Western blot. For siRNA knockdown experiments, MIN6 cells were seeded and grown in six-well plates for 24 h to achieve 70% confluence. Cell transfection was performed with the transfection reagent Lipofectamine 3000 in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. A 24 h transfection of AMPK siRNA (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc45313) was followed by starvation and treatment as described above.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
